Sunshine Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just wondered if anyone had been? I'm thinking about going this year as i have recently got back into riding. It was hard not too really as a lady 5mins away set up a stables and i get to hack out every other week in Macclesfield Forest which is beautiful, and the other week i get taught in an arena. Anyway if anyone has been-what did you think, is it worth going? I am hoping to either go to HOYS or to see Monty Roberts again. I can't decide! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I used to go years ago. Some friends of the family used to take my sister and I as our christmas present every year. I loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I was meant to be going this year, having never been before but not going to be able to know as moving. I would go to HOYS as it has such a wide range of things to see and buy. I have seen Monty Roberts as well, truly an amazing experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Never been but watch it fanatically on TV when it is on. If you get chance - go for it! I'm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassett Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Definately go to the HOYS - it is such a fun day out, with lots of variety and a great atmosphere. Monty is great too, but if you've already seen him, he does tend to be quite similar each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have just come back from the European Dressage Championships at Windsor Castle. Absolutely amazing. Like ballet on horseback. I have been to HOYS which is great but for atmosphere, entertainment and show jumping I think The London International Horse Show at Olympia from the 15th to 21st December is the best.
